Connect with me on any or all of these social networks!

Sometimes there’s an overlap of content, but sometimes you’ll find hidden gems on one of the networks. Follow the links, sign up, and if I’m not already, and add me in. If you run into any trouble, let me know on this post here.

If I’m already a connection, but we’ve never interacted on the site before, shoot me a quick message letting me know who you are and what you’re about Also, I urge anyone else who wants to expand their networks to post a link to their profile in the comments section.

The classic, instigator of all this social networking nonsense. Not the first, but the biggest impact, by far. I don’t use it very often, but love some of the features they have, especially the tight, seamless integration it has with most of the other sites. Google could take some notes on that aspect, but I still don’t really use the site.

I don’t make very many videos, but on this profile you’ll be able to see videos I’ve liked or favorited. A lot of music, futurist stuff, and funny stuff (Ricky Gervais, Louis CK, Arrested Development, and The Simpsons).

This site I very highly recommend signing up for, and taking for a test run. It’s called a “discovery engine:”

As you initially set up your profile, you select from a long list of topics that interest you. Then, you just hit the “stumble” button, and a random web page pops up, based on what they think you’ll like. If you do like, you give it a “thumbs up.” If you don’t, a “thumbs down.”

Over time, it learns from this and the sites are more consistently enjoyable. It’s also possible to stumble everything, or a specific interest. Think Pandora, but for the entire Internet.

Not a huge fan, Klout is supposed to measure your social influence around the web. I find it turns more into an unhealthy obsession with how you rank on the Internet. How rank on the Internet is relevant in any way has yet to be discovered…

Step One: Collaboration

Let’s get our heads a little closer together, so that we actually can take the world from the greedy, selfish, and arrogant, and put it in the hands of the adaptive, optimistic, and brilliant minds of future generations.

In in instant, both people would immediately not just know every thought and action each other has ever had. They would actually have experienced it (as far as they know).

Now, imagine that same technology scaled large enough to “sync” every single person on the planet, for 60 seconds.

Instant Global Awakening.

For geeks, think of:

Telepathy (aka Professor X).

Vulcan Mind Meld.

It’s the same thing, but instead of cool but impossible magic powers (Trust me that would be “Plan A,” but my extensive research of trying to grab the remote control using “The Force,” isn’t looking very promising at the moment.

However, we can invent… and as impossible as this idea sounds, it could be done, with immense R&D, a bottomless pit of money, and a lifetime.

Most (or all) of the people starting the project would never live to see the result, but it would give your life purpose. We’d be building heaven, but never get to go…

What about our kids?

…and theirs?

Randomly thought of that… the same effect is happening with the gradual extinction of privacy, and our ability to instantly communicate.

It’d still be faster, but then you run into:

Is it wrong to force everyone to do something once, if it means putting an end to so much pain? Who gets to make that decision?
